Turning Off the Power
1. Before you turn off the power, consider these two questions:
Have the volume controls of the V-Synth GT and all connected audio devices been turned to their lowest settings? Have you saved your V-Synth GT sounds or other data youve created?
2. Turn off the power for all connected audio devices. 3. Turn off the POWER switch located on the rear panel of the V-Synth GT.
* If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Refer to Power Supply (p. 7).

Parameter Structure Type

Value 1

Description This is the most conventional structure. Different sounds from OSC1 and OSC2 are mixed by MOD, processed by COSM1 to create the tonal character (e.g., using SBF (Side Band Filter)), and then processed by COSM2 to adjust the tone (e.g., using TVF). The sound of the V-Synth GTs new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result. This structure connects OSC1 and OSC2 asymmetrically. This is effective when using a modulation that has the modulator set to anything other than MIX. Typically, you will use OSC1 and COSM1 to create the basic sound, then select the OSC2 sound and MOD settings to add variation, and finally select TVF in COSM2 to adjust the tone. The sound of the V-Synth GTs new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result. In this structure, OSC1 is paired with COSM1, and OSC2 is paired with COSM2. You can use a controller such as the Time Trip Pad to morph between the sound created by OSC1 and COSM1 and the sound created by OSC2 and COSM2. The sound of the V-Synth GTs new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result. Unlike types 13, this lets you apply effects such as MOD to AP-Synthesis sounds as well. If you want to apply an effect such as MOD to the sound of AP-Synthesis, turn the OSC2 switch ON. If you select this structure, youll be able to perform using Vocal Designer. For details on using Vocal Designer, refer to Vocal Designer (p. 146). The sound of the V-Synth GTs new AP-Synthesis function can be mixed into the final result.

Mic effects such as equalizer are provided to enhance the mic input. You can use these to adjust the character of the mic sound, and make it easier for you to sing. As mic effects, equalizer (EQ), noise suppressor (Noise Sup), and compressor (Comp) are provided. These mic effect settings can be stored together as mic settings, and called up when necessary. Eight sets of mic settings can be stored. This allows you to easily use settings for Vocal Designer that are appropriate for a particular situation.
Note that when you edit the parameter value, the mic setting will also change simultaneously (and will be automatically saved). Mic settings are System settings. They will be remembered even when you turn off the power. If you want to return all eight mic settings to the factory-set condition, execute a Factory Reset (p. 235).

There are three pre-effects: compressor, limiter, and noise suppressor. By using these you can adjust the level of the sound being sampled.
Compressor Limiter Noise Suppressor By reducing high levels and raising low levels, this effect smoothes out unevenness in volume. By compressing sounds that exceed a specified volume level, this effect prevents the sound from distorting. This effect leaves the original sound untouched, but mutes the noise that is heard during periods of silence.

Description No pre-effect will be used. Compressor and noise suppressor will be used. Limiter and noise suppressor will be used. Noise suppressor will be used. Specifies the time over which a low-level signal is raised until it reaches a fixed volume. Specifies the attack time of the input sound. Adjusts the tone quality of the compressor. Adjusts the output volume. Specifies the level (threshold level) at which the limiter will begin to function. Specifies the time from when the input level drops below the threshold level until the limiter turns off. Adjusts the tonal quality of the limiter. Adjusts the output volume.

Deleting and Adding Events
Setting the Encode Depth and automatically detecting events does not guarantee that the events will be added at the locations that you expect. If necessary, you can delete or add events as you like. In the Sample Encode screen, you can touch <PREVIEW> to play the sample from the current location until the next event. By touching <PREVIEW>, you can play the sample to see whether events have been assigned to the locations that you expect.
Be aware that if you change the encode depth after deleting or adding events, the events that were modified manually will be discarded, and the events that were detected by depth will be displayed. If you modify the location of events after encoding, you must re-encode. The modified location of the events will take effect when you encode.

Deleting an Event

1. Move the cursor to Current. 2. By turning the VALUE dial, pressing [INC/+] [DEC/-], or dragging your finger over the sample in the screen, set
